European Paper Talk: Eden Hazard free to talk to Real Madrid

Eden Hazard free to talk to Real Madrid this summer, according to Marca

As the European club season approaches its climax, a number of teams are looking at getting deals in
place to beat the rush in the summer.

Eden Hazard will be free to speak to Real Madrid over a potential move. Chelsea agreed with him last summer that they would listen to offers after this season, as last year was not the right time to sell him due to their disappointing title defence.
The Blues will try and convince him to stay by bringing in a number of players, with Tiemoue Bakayoko, Romelu Lukaku, Alvaro Morata and James Rodriguez all Chelsea transfer targets. But the Belgian will have the final say in his future and it appears that he wants to make the move to Spain.

Manchester United are ready to make a world record bid for Barcelona forward Neymar. The Red Devils are willing to pay his €200m buyout clause and make the Brazilian the highest-paid player in the Premier League, by offering him more than £400,000 per week in wages.
Barcelona have approached Bayern Munich about buying back Thiago Alcantara, who left the Camp Nou for the Bundesliga in 2013. Carlo Ancelotti's side quoted €90m (£77m), which was far too much for the Catalan side to consider paying.
AS
Real Madrid want to extend the contracts of full-backs Marcelo and Dani Carvajal. The duo's current deals run until 2020, but Los Blancos want to tie them down until 2022.
Real Sociedad boss Eusebio Sacristan says if Barcelona contact him in the summer about replacing outgoing head coach Luis Enrique, he will turn them down. The 52-year-old was manager of Barcelona B from 2011 to 2015 but says he wants to stay with La Real.

Joe Hart is unlikely to stay at Torino beyond his current one-year loan deal. The Italian side will be unable to compete with other clubs to buy the England goalkeeper on a permanent basis. He is likely to return to Manchester City and be sold for in excess of €10m (£8.6m).

Tottenham winger Erik Lamela could be set for a move to Inter. The Serie A club are ready to capitalise on a row between the player and his current club. The Argentine has told friends his season is over due to a hip injury but Spurs believe he could still return before the end of the campaign.
Marco Verratti has admitted he could leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer. The Italian, who has been subject of Manchester United and Chelsea transfer rumours, has apparently told Juventus he's ready to move to Serie A. But the Bianconeri could face competition from Inter, whose Chinese owners Suning aren't afraid to splash the cash.

Prosecutors in Atlanta said Monday that rapper Young Thug was the “proclaimed leader” of a gang that “moved like a pack” to commit crimes, as opening statements in a long-delayed racketeering case got underway. Controversy and hiccups have dogged the sprawling trial alleging criminal conspiracy since jury selection began in January, notably over the state’s presentation of rap lyrics as evidence.
